Yeast infection can be a nuisance and cause a lot of discomfort to those who get the infection.
It can be very frustrating when you have tried out several treatment methods but the infection does not seem to go away.
It is caused by Candida ablicans, harmless fungi which is naturally found in our bodies.
The nature of these micro organisms is to grow and increase their numbers, however if they multiply out of control they become harmful.
Their population is therefore regulated by other harmless bacteria found in the body that feeds on yeast so as to keep it in control.
Hormonal body changes such as pregnancy, menses and other health issues such as weak immune system or diabetes are among the triggers for the overgrowth of yeast bacteria.
Natural yeast treatment methods have proven to be very effective in getting rid of yeast infection.
They not only cure the infection but also have no side effects to your general health.
One of the natural and home made treatments recommended is application of sugarless yoghurt to the infected area.
Yoghurt contains bacteria that are very useful in fighting the yeast bacteria.
Yeast thrive in conditions of high pH therefore yoghurt which is acidic lowers the pH discouraging yeast to grow.
The bacteria feed on sugar hence the reason for sugarless yoghurt so as not to encourage yeast to grow.
Other forms of reliable natural treatment are vinegar, tea tree oil Gentian violet and garlic.
The method is easier because you do not need to have a prescription and is available in homes.
They can be taken orally as food or applied on the infected area.
However there is over the counter or prescription for yeast infection treatment that are available.
They can be applied as creams, sprayed or taken orally.
They are very good for providing relief for the itching and discomfort that comes with yeast infection.
Boric acid is a useful product for severe yeast infection treatment.
